Airport Operations Flow Planning and Optimization (classroom)

3-day (24 hours) classroom course

Good planning and analytics are key in optimizing all the operational areas at an airport. It ensures better utilization of infrastructure, improved passenger experience, and reduced wait times at flow bottlenecks. It also improves utilization of check-in infrastructure and flexible allocation (room for growth, delay/cancel expensive expansion projects, reduced queues in flow areas).
